Clear Creek mid March
Went up to Clear Creek today on a beautiful day with just a touch of wind. I started around noon at one of the pullouts just past tunnel 1. I tried nyphing to begin the day and found a number of open spots that i was sure held fish, even though I could not see them. I have no luck and decide to try a new spot further up the canyon.
I find another pullout and try my luck with nymphing again. After fishing several holes with no luck and a couple fly changes and still no luck, I decide to move upstream again.
I stop for the third and final time at a spot I have fished many times. I begin fishing with the nymphing rig but don't have any luck through any of the runs or pools. I decide to try a little dry fly fishing and put on a griffiths gnat. I cast anumber of times when I finally see a brown trout rise to check the fly out and just when I think it's going to take it, I get refused. I try for a while longer with no luck and call it a day.
Rod: Iwana 12'
Line: Hi-Vis Nymphing Line 12', Traditional tenkara line 12'
Fly that almost worked: Griffiths Gnat
